Why do my DVDs play subtitles randomly for a second or two???

Question

So when I'm watching a DVD- and this has happened with many DVDs- a subtitle will randomly pop up when I don't have subtitles on. Sometimes in English, sometimes in another language.

Has anyone else experienced this before? What is the explanation and is there a remedy? I am more curious than irritated.

Answer 1

Yes, my Sony DVD recorder does the same thing.  It is annoying.  Keep in mind that your TV and your DVD player may both have setting for subtitles or captioning.  Make sure both are off.

Answer 2

It also may depends on the movie. Some movies, depends on the conversation may go from subtitles to none.
